Publisher description
The revised Third Edition of The Prokaryotes, acclaimed as a classic reference in the field, offers new and updated articles by experts from around the world on taxa of relevance to medicine, ecology and industry. Entries combine phylogenetic and systematic data with insights into genetics, physiology and application. Existing entries have been revised to incorporate rapid progress and technological innovation. The new edition improves on the lucid presentation, logical layout and abundance of illustrations that readers rely on, adding color illustration throughout. Expanded to seven volumes in its print form, the new edition adds a new, searchable online version.
In this well-illustrated reference, contributors summarize current research on sulfate-reducing bacteria and examine their relationship to biotechnology processes. This approach enables researchers to identify and define appropriate questions for future research. Chapters examine the biochemical and physiological characteristics of sulfate-reducing eubacteria and archaebacteria and review environmental and industrial activities of these bacteria. This volume features the first review on bioremediation by sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Idealer Einstieg in die Mikrobiologie und zur Vorbereitung auf das Vordiplom! In kompakter Form wird das Basiswissen präzise und verständlich präsentiert. Ausgewählte Beispiele aus Medizin und Alltag veranschaulichen die grundlegenden Zusammenhänge. Eine Besonderheit sind die Fragen zu Beginn und ein Glossar der wichtigsten Fachbegriffe am Ende eines jeden Kapitels, die bei der Prüfungsvorbereitung helfen. Das lernfreundliche Konzept wird durch zahlreiche einprägsame Abbildungen und eine durchgehend zweifarbige Gestaltung unterstützt. Neu hinzugekommen sind etwa 20 Fotos. Die 2. Auflage berücksichtigt Verbesserungsvorschläge der Leser und wurde leicht erweitert.
The first stand-alone textbook for at least ten years on this increasingly hot topic in times of global climate change and sustainability in ecosystems. Ecological biochemistry refers to the interaction of organisms with their abiotic environment and other organisms by chemical means. Biotic and abiotic factors determine the biochemical flexibility of organisms, which otherwise easily adapt to environmental changes by altering their metabolism. Sessile plants, in particular, have evolved intricate biochemical response mechanisms to fit into a changing environment. This book covers the chemistry behind these interactions, bottom up from the atomic to the system's level. An introductory part e...
Deep subsurface microbiology is a highly active and rapidly advancing research field at the interface of microbiology and the geosciences; it focuses on the detection, identification, quantification, cultivation and activity measurements of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes that permeate the subsurface biosphere of deep marine sediments and the basaltic ocean and continental crust. The deep subsurface biosphere abounds with uncultured, only recently discovered and – at best - incompletely understood microbial populations. In spatial extent and volume, Earth's subsurface biosphere is only rivaled by the deep sea water column. So far, no deep subsurface sediment has been found that is entirel...
